Morning everybody, it's quietened down here although it's still raining. Daughter's going to check the weather forecast and then decide when to go back home. We may be able to fit in a quick visit to a GC for coffee and cake first!
Sorry to hear you're still in pain @punkdoc, hope it gets sorted soon.
Hope everybody who needs to travel today gets there safely.
When OH was doing his Masters at Chelsea I used to visit him using National Express ... it was so much cheaper than the train and really just as comfortable, if not more so. I enjoyed it ... there was just one time when I took pity on a harassed young mum with her toddler twins and had one on my knee and told him a story ... bless her she'd been visiting their dad in Norwich prison ... she said it was his first time and he was so full of regret and so distraught at missing so much of their lives ... she said that thankfully he'd be home soon and absolutely determined not to get drawn back into bad company. She seemed so young ... I expect he was too. I hope things worked out ok for them.

@Dovefromabove, You kindly posed a link recently on the RHS list of drought tolerant and rain resistant plants but now I can't remember what thread it was on! Should have bookmarked it I know. Could you remind me please?
Daughter's safely home after an uneventful journey down the motorway.
Sorry to read that you are still suffering so much pain @punkdoc, and I hope it soon begins to ease, though I second what others say, and maybe contact the hospital if it’s no easier tomorrow.
It’s been better weather here today, with only the occasional shower. Different to yesterday with the non stop rain. It must be dreadful for all the poor souls suffering from the flooding.
Safe travels to all who have journeys to undertake.
I spent most of this morning starting to tidy away decorations - garlands and such like. The tree will stay up until 12th night. It looks so bare, but it has to be done.
Thank you once again to all who have sent condolences. You are very kind. It has been a terrible shock, happening so suddenly and so quickly. I don’t know yet when the funeral is, but imagine it won’t be for at least 2 weeks.
Hi everyone, real sunshine and showers day . Sorry to hear your bad news @Red maple. @Lizzie27 , @coccinella posted the plant list on this thread page 5 or 6 might have been a reposting. I actually made it to the plots this afternoon, very wet underfoot no real storm damage just a few bits & pieces slung around. My wife is at the Science museum, with the younger members of the family- I ducked out of it, she's far braver than me.
Glad your daughter got back home ok, @Lizzie27. It hasn’t been too bad here this morning, but the rain has started again, and we have another warning. I’m trying to get myself organised to take the bins and recycling down to the road. Dark and wet out, so no fun, with a steep driveway to negotiate. Xray went fine, in and out in five minutes. I’m not expecting anything alarming to be found, my guess is that I had some muscular aches and pains which have eased off, but it’ll be nice to find out that I hopefully don’t much much if any arthritis in my neck. We took advantage of the trip out to pop into Lidl on the way home, I bought the rinseaid and dishwasher salt that were the only items on my shopping list, plus a pile of stuff that I didn’t know I needed ( and probably don’t!) Our neighbours fallen tree has gone, but there is an Openreach engineer up a ladder at a nearby pole. I haven’t actually checked whether our landline phone is currently working, but we hardly get any calls anyway, and spoke to daughter on Monday. Hope you are starting to get some relief from the pain, @punkdoc.

Full blown (pun intended) cold here 🤧 but nothing compared to those of you in pain.
- you take care.
